    Martin Lawrence plays an “underblubber” agent in this mix of Stakeout and Mrs Doubtfire, trying to catch an escaped bank robber (Terrence Howard) by posing as the 300lb southern momma of the villain's ex-girlfriend (Nia Long). The comedy derives both from Lawrence's roly-poly impersonation and from his falling for the girl he's guarding. The humour is pretty obvious, but Lawrence works hard to give this one-joke film enough crowd-pleasing moments to justify the ticket price.

    Can Martin Lawrence do no wrong??

    This is another Martin Lawrence hit, fans of his other movies will not be disapointed. Its 'Mrs Doubtfire' meets 'Blue Streak' (If you can imagine such a thing!) It is really entertaining and funny, great light-hearted stuff!

    Big Momma's House

    A few funny scenes but just the run of the mill family comedy. Nothing new.
